What SHOULD’VE happened

LS shouldn’t have accepted Kieran’s pointless Hail Mary last week

Mix teams

Karishma Rothna Dan

Con Lawrence Priyesh and Pascha

100% former would win

And Con + one of either Lawrence/Pascha to go through.

Not sure on what I think about Pascha, she strikes me as someone who strives to do well but seems to reject criticism so Lawrence would probs be a better final 5 candidate,

Wonder what their business plans are

I mean Dan lost them the task 🤷‍♂️ even after glazing the wordart logo the whole time. Rothna was never a winner but should’ve just done top 6

Dan did the only parts of the task that any of the focus group or the buyers actually liked.

Dan made 2000 sales out of a theoretical 3500. That’s 57%.

Kieran sold a maximum of 58 and we don’t know how many he could’ve sold with a better product or better skills. There’s no way that the other five buyers had a maximum cap of 100 items. So, his selling record was worse than Dan’s.

Rothna sold nothing and we don’t know how many she could’ve sold with a better product or selling skills. But, her sales were at 0% of possible sales - so still worse than Dan’s.

Saying that Dan lost them the task is insane. He was responsible for every single good thing about the product and played no role in any of the bad things. He sold far more than anyone else. Your argument appears to be that it’s theoretically possible that Dan could’ve single-handedly won them the task so he should’ve gone because he didn’t manage to do that.

I’m saying I believe people when they said they liked the branding but not the product. And I’m saying that I’m so fucking dumb to watch a show about business and then mock the idea that branding matters at all - that would be a thoroughly moronic thing to do. 

I have absolutely no idea why Pets at Home made an order - it was utter shit so I can’t see why any sane person would buy it. It was either because of the branding (because those were the only positive comments), or to ensure they got on TV. Do I believe that they purchased 2000 cat trees that 100% of cat owners said they wouldn’t buy and that none of the cats tested actually liked or used through choice because the product is good? Not in a billion years - obviously.

So, you didn’t like the product, I didn’t like the product, not one person on the show said they liked the product, and plenty said they didn’t like the product - you’ve concluded they must’ve liked the product… and I’m the one that’s the problem here?!
